Statuesque Poem by Lorac Revilo

Image
I graduated in 1989, thanks to a family who took me in and gave me a safe environment.  This is one of the poems I wrote at that time. It helped me then and it still helps me now to express my feelings.  My how time flies. I am no longer that statue on a shelf.  I have a husband and kids who believe me and love me for me. #cmoorepoetry   Many thanks to my wonderful husband for being my everything.  I can't imagine life without him.  I'm looking at my pen name Lorac Revilo, but my real name is Carol Louise MOORE

The Darkness Within by Lora C Revilo

Oh the darkness within Will it stay? Will it win? This is my place to heal My place to share,  how truly I feel At the end there really is hope to see No worries for... It is not all gloomy I can't believe how time can fly by The time I have taken to try not to cry To cry over things from my past To cry over things that shouldn't last  So many good things have come my way Yet my inner battle still wants to stay The following are my thoughts  during this time Thoughts that come out  in a rhyme It's not my fault,  I say This does not have to stay So I try to find the light To keep it on, with all my might The light we cannot see The light to keep us happy When we learn to choose the right To help us win the fight What is the fight, you say? The fight to keep the darkness away Yet, I cannot do this on my own Nor do I have to feel so alone What do you think we cannot see When darkness plays  with our sanity? Why we cannot see God's  eternal lov...

The Silence Within a Battle of Depression

Oh the silence within Will it stay? Will it win? This is my place to heal My place to share,  how truly I feel It is the silence within  That she did try to hide The silence that wants to win It is the silence deep inside The silence she no longer wanted to keep The silence that kept making her want to weep The silence that no longer wants to be The silence that makes her so  un happy  She has bottled it up inside For way too long  And she just has to confide That it was just wrong No longer does she have to keep The secrets in her heart No longer does she have to weep Not sure where she should start She will speak up She has a choice She'll not shut up She has a voice Yes, this IS the girl I used to see The girl no one would believe I am so tired of living this lie That my family thinks he is okay Yet, How fair is it to the family Who just can't believe what happened to me Stay tuned for MOORE to come about the girl I used to see Even though she fel...

The Girl I Used To See

This is my place to heal My place to share,  how truly I feel I'm  here to talk about  The girl I used to see The girl no one would believe Her name was Lora C. Revilo  From many many years ago I tried to help her when I could She was lost, scared, and misunderstood No one knew how truly sad she was She was known for being lots of fun  And just a little bit crazy...because She was told to tell no one Everyday is a battle A battle within Will I choose to lose Or will I choose to win I choose to win, she would say And she chose to win every day. The girl no one would believe The girl I used to see I've come a long ways  from the girl I used to see The girl with an abusive  fam i ly Yes it is true It was not all the time But when it was It was a crime How could he grab her by the hair  and throw her around Without a care?
